A church is burning A church is burning Uma igreja está queimando The flames rise higher The flames rise higher As chamas sobem ainda mais alto Like hands that are praying Like hands that are praying Como as mãos dos que estão rezando Aglow in the sky Aglow in the sky Brilham no céu Like hands that are praying Like hands that are praying Como as mãos dos que estão rezando The fire is saying, The fire is saying, O fogo está dizendo "You can burn down my churches "You can burn down my churches "Você pode queimar minhas igrejas But I shall be free." But I shall be free." Mas eu serei livre" Three hooded men through the back roads did creep Three hooded men through the back roads did creep Três homens de capuz pelas estradas de trás rastejaram Torches in their hands while the village lies asleep Torches in their hands while the village lies asleep Tochas em suas mãos enquanto o vilarejo dorme Down to the church where, just hours before Down to the church where, just hours before Indo para a igreja onde, apenas poucas horas atrás Voices were singing, and Voices were singing, and Vozes cantavam, e Hands were beating, and Hands were beating, and Mãos batiam palmas e Saying, "I won't be a slave anymore." Saying, "I won't be a slave anymore." Diziam "Não serei mais um escravo" A church is burning A church is burning Uma igreja está queimando The flames rise higher The flames rise higher As chamas sobem ainda mais alto Like hands that are praying Like hands that are praying Como as mãos dos que estão rezando Aglow in the sky Aglow in the sky Brilham no céu Like hands that are praying Like hands that are praying Como as mãos dos que estão rezando The fire is saying, The fire is saying, O fogo está dizendo "You can burn down my churches "You can burn down my churches "Você pode queimar minhas igrejas But I shall be free." But I shall be free." Mas eu serei livre" Three hooded men, their hands lit the spark Three hooded men, their hands lit the spark Três homens encapuzados, suas mãos acenderam a faísca And they faded in the night, and they vanished in the dark And they faded in the night, and they vanished in the dark E eles desapareceram na noite, e eles sumiram no escuro And in the cold light of morning, there is nothing that remains And in the cold light of morning, there is nothing that remains E na fria da luz da manhã, nada restou But the ashes of a Bible and a can of kerosene But the ashes of a Bible and a can of kerosene Além das cinzas de uma Bíblia e uma lata de querosene A church is burning A church is burning Uma igreja está queimando The flames rise higher The flames rise higher As chamas sobem ainda mais alto Like hands that are praying Like hands that are praying Como as mãos dos que estão rezando Aglow in the sky Aglow in the sky Brilham no céu Like hands that are praying Like hands that are praying Como as mãos dos que estão rezando The fire is saying, The fire is saying, O fogo está dizendo "You can burn down my churches "You can burn down my churches "Você pode queimar minhas igrejas But I shall be free." But I shall be free." Mas eu serei livre" A church is more than just timber and stone A church is more than just timber and stone Uma igreja é mais do que madeira e pedra And freedom is a dark road when you're walking it alone And freedom is a dark road when you're walking it alone E a liberdade é uma estrada escura quando você a percorre sozinho But the future is now, and it's time to take a stand But the future is now, and it's time to take a stand Mas o futuro é agora e é hora de tomar uma posição So the lost bells of freedom can ring out in my land So the lost bells of freedom can ring out in my land Para que os sinos perdidos da liberdade possam tocar na minha terra A church is burning A church is burning Uma igreja está queimando The flames rise higher The flames rise higher As chamas sobem ainda mais alto Like hands that are praying Like hands that are praying Como as mãos dos que estão rezando Aglow in the sky Aglow in the sky Brilham no céu Like hands that are praying Like hands that are praying Como as mãos dos que estão rezando The fire is saying, The fire is saying, O fogo está dizendo "You can burn down my churches "You can burn down my churches "Você pode queimar minhas igrejas But I shall be free." But I shall be free." Mas eu serei livre"
